For low friction, transfer of ideas, Graham is right. But sometimes sounding like passport application form instructions doesn’t get the right feeling across. Words have a magic ab…

Less to do with insecurity, more to do with signifying membership of a club. A bit like a regimental tie, vocal fry or the latest pair of sneakers.

What could possibly go wrong?

Great comment. I might go further and say that cherry-picking is either an attempt to deceive the listener or oneself. I’d put it on the same pedestal as lying.

I found this very insightful, thank you.

Sheeesh. Bad news for entrepreneurship. As due to mortgage lending rules, it’s very difficult to get a loan as a business owner rather than an employee with steady, bankable, salar…

What is the incentive for a bank to lend at 0%? Surely it’s more profitable to do nothing?

Private Eye is one of the few publications which identifies this type of detail. I’m a regular buyer. Thanks for sharing.

It’s interesting that the article does not attribute responsibility. Ultimately, that tanker was under the control of a group of decision-makers and liability should be attributed.…

Just to say, I’m case you’ve never heard it before, but there’s a theory that humanity as a whole only started seeing blue in modern times. https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.science…

If this is how they treat investors, how will they persuade investors to invest again? Stupid question?

This sounds biblical. But it could also be Conan the Barbarian.
